No, I'm not saying that we are justified through works we are only justified through faith in Jesus. Jesus is the one that does the works in and through us.
It is not about following a bunch of rules, doing alms, or whatever to try to be saved or keep ourselves saved. It is about loving God and letting Him work in and through us.
We can do nothing on our own to make ourselves worthy of God's salvation the only thing that makes us worthy is Jesus Christ and faith in Him.

Exactly my point. Works do not justify. The only thing that justifies the believer is the faith of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

We do not know if the faith tha the criminal on the cross's faith was not faith enough to listen to what Christ told him or not as he had no time to live out his faith. God took his faith as complete faith in all of Christ.
Christianity is not about a Christ of the mind only, Christ transforms life and is a living God. It is impossible to have God within and only the world within. God within manifests itself in action or God is not within.

Right on. Christ told us to pray for our daily bread and when Christ was tested in the wilderness he explained to Satan that the bread was the word of God.
In this world we have plenty bread from the world that is opposed to God in movies, TV, newspapers and all media. It is for Christianity to not be fed by those things but to be fed by the word of the Lord.

faith is not yet complete if it is opposed to the works set before us by Christ Jesus .
it doesn’t mean we’re lost of have failed it just means the seed of faith is having a little problem emerging from the soil , but with water , and care by the gardener it will grow and begin to bear the fruits of faith that make it complete
faith should be what moves us , not us moving trying to have faith of that makes sense forst the seed is planted and received
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.”
Luke 8:11 KJV
And then comes the stormy weather to test the value of the soil
“Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.”
Luke 8:12 KJV
but they persevere and keep It in thier heart and then the remotes comes with the thkngs of the world
“They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.”
Luke 8:13 KJV
but they persevere and the roots get strong and then the material lists attempt to choke out the seeding and it stops short of accepting the world set before
“And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.”
Luke 8:14 KJV
but then some day , we don’t know which or even what changes the power of faith begins to change the bow growing plants branches and we see fruits beginning to bud
“But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”
Luke 8:15 KJV
Faith has to be established before any work is going to be accepted , and when faith is established in the correct place , faith is going to change us into fruitful people in his things but faith is our target , and persevering therin negate a harvest whether large medium or small works are born of faith and complete the words meaning .
we have to hear and believe the thkngs tbe lord came and taught that’s where faith is planted in the heart and we abide and hold fast in believing the rest is promised just because we do that

No not at all. When the thief on the cross came into the equation, I had to pause for a minute and discussed it with my husband because I really do believe that through faith, we will do works, we can't help it if we are true believers, so the thief threw me off. He reminded me of the witnessing of the thief, there it is, he couldn't help it.

amen God changes us into those learning to walk we may not jog or run right away but the changes are not possible to Keep to ourselves
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:8-10 KJV
it’s the old Man v the new creation in Christ prepared to start taking the steps
